"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." – Romans 5:8 (NLT)
On February 5th, 2017, things looked pretty bleak for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl Fifty-One. By the middle of the third quarter, they found themselves down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons. No team had ever come back to win a Super Bowl after such a deficit.
But as can happen in sports across the spectrum, a swing in momentum can change things in a hurry. There would be no Falcons blowout that day. Instead, the Patriots would score thirty-one unanswered points to win the game 34-28 in overtime. As baseball legend, Yogi Berra used to say, "It ain't over til it's over."
When it comes to a momentum swing in life, two little words can change the outcome…
But God.
From Joseph to Paul, we see so many But God moments.
There will be moments in our own lives when the odds seem overwhelmingly against us. Defeat is a foregone conclusion. A comeback? Impossible.
But God.
